Configure member group permissions for dashboard

Availability of certain features on the dashboard (home page) is configured through the member group permissions. Thus, these page features are available only for portal members that were assigned to a portal member group for which these features are allowed.

All dashboards elements are put into layout blocks. For layout blocks as well as various layout block elements, you set up member group permissions separately, in the settings for that layout block or layout block element.

Member group permissions for the dashboard (home page)

When you create or edit the dashboard (a page with the icon), you can set up the following member group permissions:

  • Hide menu item - This setting hides the navigation pane menu item that opens the dashboard page. It can be configured per member group. In the dashboard page settings, on the General tab, under Menu settings, in the Hide menu item setting, select one or several member groups, for which this page menu item will be hidden. Alternatively, you can select the ~All~ check box to hide it for all member groups (without the necessity to select every member group's check box) or select the Hide menu item check box to have all member groups selected at once.

Whenever you make changes in page settings, ensure that you select Save and publish to save the changes and publish them on the front end. Optionally, if you were editing the page, you can select Save and preview to preview how the page will look like on the front end.
